Samsung launches CHG 90 DR compatible 49-inch curved Ultra Wide Monitor
Samsung outs their ultra-wide 49-inch screen (3840 X 1080), which comes with a 32:9 aspect ratio and a massive 1800R curved wide diagonal panel. The screen specs are not bad really, but my man, look at some photos first I'd say.
This $1,499 monitor was unveiled last month, and is available starting the coming weeks. It is the first monitor in this new category of "super ultra-wide" monitors. The CHG90 uses High Dynamic Range (HDR) technology — usually reserved for televisions and large-format displays — and quantum dot composition, along with FreeSync 2 technology, the company said.
This ultra-wide 49-inch screen (3840 X 1080) with its 32:9 aspect ratio means you always get to see game scenes in their entirety, exactly as their developers intended (hey Samsungs words not mine). And the 1800R curved panel immerses you in gameplay and delivers cinematic viewing for movies and video content. With Quantum Dot technology, Samsung’s QLED Gaming Monitor provides an extreme upgrade in your gaming experience. Quantum dot makes today's games appear more lifelike by delivering a billion shades of accurate color.
The CHG90 QLED Gaming Monitor features support for High Dynamic Range (HDR), so dark areas are darker and bright areas are brighter. See mind-blowing detail and contrast as bright blue skies share the screen with deep shadows and silhouettes. The CHG90 supports AMD’s new Radeon FreeSync™ 2 technology, which gives gamers a smooth HDR gaming experience with twice the perceivable brightness and color of that offered by the sRGB spectrum. The fast 144Hz screen refresh rate ensures you flawlessly smooth action scenes even in games with high frame rates. And you can adjust the refresh rate to 60Hz/120Hz when necessary.

I think Project Cars or other driving/flying simulators would look great on this.
However, for general gaming... meh.
I can't imagine CIV6 on it ^.^

I think they just can't manage higher then 1080 with larger size panels if they want to go with faster specs.
I still with my old trusty wide 27" 1920x1200 60hz lcd. just can't find any thing good these days.
was actually looking 29,30" flat ultrawide atleast 144hz 2k resolution but failed to find one....

Yeah, I totally know developers that target 32:9. ???? Who writes this crap?
A lot of game developers do develop ultra-wide modes for their game for people who use multi monitor setups. But with multiple monitors you have borders between screens breaking them up. This monitor is like having 2 monitors setup, but no border in the middle. So what they say does make sense, in a way.

144 maybe not but 100 with the Samsung C791. Picked that monitor up and it's a nice ultrawide 34" 3440x1440 w/ freesync to boot. Great colors too with quantum dot tech.

They already did in some regions. However, the 32" model CHG70 turns out to be a bust according to early reviews. Lots of people claim that the monitor handles text poorly and HDR is pretty much useless at this moment. Also the base design is horribly space consuming.

Weird resolution choice, if only it was 4k. Although 49" is ridiculous for a desktop monitor lol. How would that even be at all doable for 99% of all PC users. 32 inch is ideal and a little more practical...
